Chapter 788: Why Bully Them

Zong Bai, won't be able to take the imperial examinations for the rest of his life.""Let me go."Zong Bai had long been fed up with his uncle's family. Ignoring his elder brother's usual admonitions, h...After leaving for a while, Fang Jinxiu thought about it left and right, feeling something was wrong. She couldn't tell why, so she turned her steps back to the courtyard unconsciously.

She was shocked by what she saw.

Born, Yuanbao was praised by the whole family for being sensible, obedient, and considerate. Now, sitting on a big kid, he still had that cute and well-behaved expression, but his eyes were frighteningly strange.

He was directing another child to stuff snacks into the mouth of the older child who was sitting under him. The older child's cheeks were bulging, and his expression was extremely pained.

The treasure seemed to be invisible, still making people keep stuffing food into his mouth.

"Ugh!"

The older child couldn't stand it and wanted to vomit, only to hear Yuanbao's icy voice.

"If you dare spit it out, you forfeit your right to be my companion."

Yuan Bao lifted her little face, and Fang Jinxiu seemed to be nailed to the spot. How could a two-year-old child have such a cold expression on her face

The older child, upon hearing Yuan Bao's words, covered his mouth desperately with his hands, not daring to make a single sound. Beads of cold sweat trickled down his forehead, each one large and painful.

Fang Jinxiu was as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her head. She sank her face and walked out quickly.

When Yuan Bao saw her, a flash of panic crossed his face, but he quickly regained his composure, which found her rather terrifying.

Fang Jinshi only gave her son a cold glance, lifted the child from the ground, and helped him spit out the food in his mouth.

"Don't be afraid, if Yuanbao bullies you, you can tell Aunt Jinxiu. Don't let him get away with it."

The little Yuanbao, looking pitiful and distressed, shuffled to his mother's side and tentatively tugged at the corner of her clothes.

"Mother, Yuan Bao did not bully them."

Fan Jinshu was really angry, she never knew Yuanbao had such a vicious side.

"If he didn't bully them, then what is he talking about"

"Yuanbao, don't you know that playing like this could get someone killed!"

If the food goes down this child's throat, he will be dead in less than an hour.

Yǎn Bǎo pouted, tears welling up in her eyes, looking pitiful.

"Mother, Yuan Bao knows he was wrong."

Fan Jinshu took a deep breath and cleaned out the things from the child's mouth, letting Xiao Yue send the children back first.

After sending the child off, Jin Yu followed Xiao Yue over. As soon as she saw Fang Jinshu, she knelt down with a thud.

"Sister Jinxiu, it's all the maidservants' fault for not watching over Young Master Yuánbǎo closely."

Fang Jinshi asked, "Jin Yu, where did you just go"

Jin Yu replied, "The young master said there was another friend of his down the mountain, so I went down to invite him."

Fan Jinshu turned back to Yuan Bao, "When did you make a friend down the mountain"

At this point, Jin Yu also realized something was off. This was just a pretext made up by the young master to get her away. He was only two years old and had never been down the mountain alone before. There was no chance he would have met or befriended any children from the village.

Jinyu was filled with remorse and sincerely apologized for her mistake.

Fang Jinshu raised her hand to stop him, feeling even more alarmed. Yuan Bao was only two years old and already had such a deep mind.

She told Xiaoyue to take the jade pendant down and, after the two maids had gone back, she would question Yuanbao about his reasons for doing this.

In the courtyard, only she and her son were left. Fang Jinshu merely kept a composed face; her refusal to shout or scold was unsettling for Yuan Bao. After all, he was still young and easily affected by outward appearances.

"Mother."

The little guy called out to her again.

Fang Jinxiu warned herself not to soften her heart and asked coldly, "Why are you bullying them."

"If you don't like these companions, you can tell me, and I'll find you new ones."

“Do you know that your actions today could kill that child!”

Yuan Bao burst into tears, big sobs racking her small body. Tears streamed down her face, making Fang Jinxiu's heart ache. Since Yuan Bao was born, Fang Jinxiu had never raised her voice, let alone spanked her.

This is my first time.

Yuan Bao sobbed and cried uncontrollably, refusing to answer her questions.

Mu Shi, Yu Lian, and all the others in the family who loved Yuan Bao rushed over upon hearing the news. Fang Jinxiu had Xiao Yue stationed at the entrance to the courtyard beforehand, preventing anyone from entering.

If it's just other people, it doesn't matter, but if her mother-in-law and Jade Lily come in, he won't utter a single truthful word.ontract across the table to Fang Jinshi.She curiously took it and glanced at it. The three big characters "selling oneself" were prominently displayed on the paper, and she was stunned on the spot."Sa...
